Biology

Physiology

Roselia is a small Pokémon with a light green body. Roselia has a leaf skirt and holds a rose on each of its hands. Roselia has three thorns on top of its head. Roselia are normally 12 inches tall, but on rare occasions they grow up to the size of a human child, similar to Drew's Roselia.

Gender differences

A male Roselia has a shorter skirt than a female.

Special abilities

Roselia normally fire sharp thorns (either Poison Sting or Pin Missile, but the latter of the two rarely occurs) as a first offense, usually at wild Pokémon who try to steal its flowers. Roselia are also capable of launching some Powder-based moves to either inflict status problems on its foes (Sleep Powder, Stun Spore, PoisonPowder or Sweet Scent) or to heal the status problems of itself and its allies (Aromatherapy). Roselia are also capable of knowing Petal Dance. Like most Grass-type Pokémon, Roselia can take in sunlight and focus it into a SolarBeam.

Behavior

Roselia seem to be peaceful Pokémon, but can attack fiercely with powerful poisonous attacks upon sensing danger.

Roselia was at one time the only dual-type Grass/Poison Pokémon that did not evolve into or from anything (though this changed when Budew and Roserade were introduced). It was also the only Pokémon with its specific type combination to not be from Generation I until its evolution and pre-evolution appeared.
